Participants may choose to join a private league consisting of participants who elect to be placed in a league determined by the participants ("Private League"). Standings generate each night after the last game, with the final official standings generating each Sunday night. Private League standings will also reflect each team's relative standing within that league each week.

Selecting Your Team. Each week throughout the Game, Participant will be required to choose a team of ten players, comprising of one player from each of ten groups of ten players (each a "Group"). A completed roster will consist of 1 Pitcher, 1 Catcher, 1 First Baseman, 1 Second Baseman, 1 Third Baseman, 1 Shortstop, 3 Outfielders and 1 Utility Player (any offensive position; no pitchers). Once Participant has selected his/her roster, such roster will NOT carry over from week to week. If Participant does not set up a lineup in a given week he/she will score zero points. Note: Player groupings are updated on Fridays. The list will not change if certain players are called up to a Major League team, or demoted to a Single A affiliate, after the list is posted on the site.

Team Selection Deadline. Participant must make their weekly selections by 7 pm ET/4 pm PT on Monday each week. The selections will be made available starting on Friday afternoon for the following week. Players who begin play before the final deadline will lock at their game time on Mondays.

Week 1 Deadline. For the first week of the 2018 season, roster selections must be completed by 7 pm ET/4 pm PT on Thursday, April 5, 2018 to be eligible for scoring for that week. Players who begin play before the final will lock at their game time on Thursday.

Point Values. Each team will earn points based upon the Head2Head Scoring system (see below), earned by the players on Participant's Roster for that week. At the end of each monthly segment, your lowest score from that segment will be dropped from your total points. Note: If a player's game is rained out, the player's points will count in the period that the game is completed.

TIES. Should a tie exist between two (2) or more entrants eligible for the weekly prizes, the winner will be the entrant who has the highest score in Group #1 (Pitchers). If a tie persists, the winner will be the team with the highest score in Player Group #2 (Catchers). Persisting tiebreakers will continue using Player Group #3 (1st Baseman), Player Group #4 (2nd Baseman), and so on. If a tie continues to persist, all remaining entrants will receive the weekly prize. In all cases, an entry that does not win a tiebreaker is eliminated from consideration.
